Some of the events in the book are just unbelievable and had me rolling my eyes as I was listening, but I was already 40 chapters in by then so I kept going. I read a review saying this book was predictable and I don’t totally agree. It’s obvious from pretty early on that
Brooke starts to doubt Shane was the killer. Being that there was only 1 other survivor, Tim, it could go either way on who the killer was
. I’m not sure if that person finished the book, but there is a pretty big plot twist at the end that I think fits and was not at all obvious until you’re already in the moment. And the epilogue had me shook! All in all, I would not really consider this a thriller as I was rather bored until about 60% in- I almost just skipped to the end. If this was shorter, I would have rated it higher.
